Description
Stuart Farm is a three acre farm with a newly renovated five bedroom, 1800 sq. ft. farmhouse in Cane Beds, Arizona. If you want to get away from it all and get out to the edge of civilization, this is the place. Located in one of the last great wilderness areas in Northern Arizona, it is very close to the Arizona/Utah border; between Zion National Park and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
This is cattle country and part of the famous Arizona Strip. It has long been a cattleman's paradise with large stretches of grassy meadow in the valleys and the high Kaibab plateau as summer forage. Many cattle ranching families have been here for generations and are what remains of the pioneers that traveled out in wagon trains to settle the west almost 200 years ago.
Before the west was settled, the property was home to the Anasazi Indian tribe. Many legends have been told about the Anasazi and what became of them. Our neighborhood is located at the foot of Lyon's point in the Cane Beds valley and we know that it was once home to more than 10,000 Anasazi Indians. If you hike around the property, you may find arrowheads, ancient pieces of broken pottery and see petroglyphs carved on the nearby surrounding cliffs and caves where the tribe once lived.
The farm is home to much wildlife including, deer, coyotes, jackrabbits and a herd of big horn sheep that can be seen on the north ridge from time to time. Of course, the black angus cows are on the east range and will usually come to the fence to say hello at sundown.
The farm offers stunning mountain views of red rock cliffs, spectacular sunsets but most glorious of all would definitely be the views of the night sky. We are located next to a very rare "International Dark Sky Region" which is specifically protected for its distinguished quality of starry nights, superb views of the milky way and natural nocturnal environments. These areas are extremely rare as light wash from cities and towns drown out the ability to see the night sky with the naked eye. These regions only exist now in a few remote places in the Western part of America and scientists tell us that in less than ten years, our area will be just one of two places left in the United States where dark sky's will still exist. This is something that you must put on your bucket list and if you are an astronomy enthusiast, bring your telescope and dive in.
Mother Nature has given us an abundance of gifts and we hope that you can find your way here and enjoy all of them.
